Google Docs AKA Multiplayer Word - Design Stage of the Pokemon RPG Mod

Well tonight I started to work with Loki on the design of the RPG. As we are working long distance, Loki was kinda enough to set up a Google Docs word document as a focus point for out ideas.
I was unaware of this feature but the document can be edited by all owners of the document at the same time. Basically it feels like multiplayer word! I add a idea/suggestion and Loki would immediately add a comment afterwards, to witch i can comment back. It working surprising well for brainstorming ^_^. It even deals with document conflicts, giving you the chance to catch you changes before there lost.
I shall remember this for the future for any other game projects i start with people. Its a good way to get everyone involved in the design and get there thoughts across ^_^
So the design is coming along nicely. Our friends will be looking at it soon and be able to fill in some of the missing details.
All in all a good start ^_^
(Loki has also comment on the effectiveness of Google Docs here)
